PyNag (Python Nagios Extensions)

About Pynag

Anyone who has tried Nagios knows that the configuration files can be a pain to manage, especially when the installation starts growing. It takes a lot of time to learn the small nuances of getting things working exactly how you want them. The main goal of this project is to provide a python tool for pragmatically handling configuration file maintenance, and plugin development.

Anyone else interested in contributing to his project, feel free!
